Samuel H. Yonge (1843-1935) was a civil engineer who spearheaded the design and construction of a seawall/revetment that halted the rapid erosion and loss into the James River of the most-historic part of Jamestown Island, making possible continued significant archaeological finds at Jamestown. Yonge located, unearthed, and published many of his findings on the island, including this "Brief Historical and Topographical Sketch of the First American Metropolis, Illustrated with Original Maps, Drawings and Photographs."
